Of course i’m not saying internet users have to use it. Or that it has to completely replace Youtube or other streaming services in its complete entirety....
I don’t think peertube will succeed in scaling because video streaming and transcoding takes so much more resources to run than lemmy, and I can’t see volunteers doing this for nothing in return in the long run.
Tens of thousands of lemmy users can be hosted on hundreds of dollars per month; I bet it’s 10x more for peertube.
I think it’s just lemmy. I’ve been browsing reddit more because sadly lemmy seems to have a rather extreme pro-Palestine bias, whereas reddit has a slight pro-Israel bias.
The Samsung flagships (s22, 23) are the only “small” phones, but they’re actually pretty good. I’ve been using Samsung for a few years now and it actually improves on the things that annoy me with stock android.
That’s just plain wrong. The veto was a feature in the League of Nations (the predecessor of the UN). When the UN was formed, the permanent members (US, Soviet Union, United Kingdom, and China) all wanted this feature, ostensibly for unity and have all the major powers act together, but most likely to protect their own national interests.
China and Russia have used the veto to act against US interests as well.
As someone who just wandered into this thread - yes, you are by far the most insufferable poster on this thread so far. Worse than many other vegetarians in fact.
The whole situation in that region is far too complicated to have a simple answer, and there’s legitimately blame on both sides. But hamas overplayed their hand this time.
Me too. Back facing fingerprint sensors were so ergonomic and responsive. Phone makers literally unanimously decided to throw away the best option for all kinds of sub optimal alternatives.
Yeah reddit is already a tiny bit of an echo chamber (tech savvy, frequently online folks). Lemmy is worse (every other post is "big tech bad, Linux good, privacy ftw). Not that these are necessarily bad things, they’re just not representative of the general population.
In another thread, I read a user’s comment about how the lemmy experience has got progressively worse over the past few months, with a lot more trash content making it to their front page....
I think reddit is reversing all edits made using powerdeletesuite.
What I did was to sort by comments by top score of all time, and then manually edit the useful ones to paragraphs of gibberish (google “gibberish generator” or something. I left all the snarky comments and low-effort puns alone.
Well… I don’t remember but I had about 2 years’ worth of comments across 3-4 accounts (I usually change accounts every few years), so about 6-8 years’ worth of comments.
Just editing the useful comments doesn’t take that long honestly - there were a lot of “hold my axe!” or pun chains that I left as is.

Unfortunately, like filibusters, government shutdowns are a Pandora’s box. Once they’ve been used as a negotiating tactic once, you can never un-use them.
That’s not to say this isn’t despicable, but unless there’s bipartisan support to change the process, we’re going to see government shutdowns every time there’s disagreement over funding.
U.S. President Joe Biden and one of his top aides warned on Monday that a federal government shutdown could cause widespread suffering, including a rapid loss of food benefits for nearly 7 million low-income women and children....

What do you mean that’s mercenary? That’s just unavoidable circumstances. Since the company is a family, you want to take care of your family members, right?
